In this book a 20th century Spanish philosopher attempts to answer two essential questions concerning the mission of higher
education: first, what is the knowledge most worth knowing by all students? And, second, what is the function of the university
in a modern democracy? The writer defines four primary missions for the university: (1) the teaching of the learned professions;
(2) the fostering of scientific research; (3) training for political leadership; and (4) the creation of cultured persons
with the ability to make intellectual interpretations of the world. This new edition also contains an new introduction (by
Clark Kerr) in which the author's ideas are analyzed in their historical context and in which speculations are raised on how
the great issues dealt with in the text can be made contemporary for modern students facing the challenges and uncertainties
of the 21st century. Contains an index. (Glr)

This concise, elegant essay on the roots and historical justification of philosophy marks a decisive step in posing the problem
of what philosophy is. With consummate clarity and the charisma that distinguished him as a lecturer, Jos Ortega y Gasset
re-creates "that moment when Parmenides began talking about something exceptionally strange, which he called 'being'". How
and why, he asks, did such a surprising adventure come about? Considering the human qualities that prompt a curiosity about
existence and eternity, Ortega examines philosophy's etymology, its connection to poetry, and its differentiation from religion
and other modes of thought. He lucidly delineates radical differences of doctrine and style among early Greek thinkers, especially
the "madman of reason" Parmenides and the "absolute individual" Heraclitus. He also considers philosophy's fundamental task
of revealing the latent world poised behind the manifest world and discovering the relations between them. "Unable to find
lodging among the philosophies of the past", Ortega observes, "we have no choice but to attempt to construct one of our own".
"The Origin of Philosophy" argues for the vital importance of philosophy as a human endeavor, even while noting that each
generation of thought reveals the past as "a defunct world of errors"
